RetrocomputingRetrocomputing is a term to describe the use of old computer hardware and software. Retrocomputing by hobbyists One form of retrocomputing is a recreation or hobby, which is often misunderstood by non-enthusiasts, since it involves a mixture of nostalgia and horror (about things like JCL). It often involves maintaining or emulating obsolete hardware. Historical retrocomputing A more serious line of retrocomputing is part of the history of computing. It can be seen as the analogue of Experimental archaeology in computing. Some notable examples include: - Reconstruction of Babbage's Difference engine (more than a century after its design)
- The implementation of Plankalkül in 2000 (more than half a century since its inception).
